Clinton took the stage after the show, which featured Beyoncé – with pantsuit-clad backup dancers – and Jay Z, as well as Chance the Rapper, J. Cole and Big Sean.

“I thank Beyoncé for standing up and showing the world we are strongest when we look out for each other. And I thank Jay for addressing in his music some of our biggest challenges in the country: poverty, racism, the urgent need for criminal justice reform,” Clinton said.
